Well, I`ve just discovered this yesterday and since I love travelling I became almost addicted to this quiz.

Travel IQ Test

I`m ranked so far:

#17 in Latin America
#251 in World Capitals
#961 in World

Put yourself to test.

Final score: 335,093

Level 10; hopeless on African capitals so I couldn't finish.

I may go back, 'cos it's annoying me now.

I didn't find a rank. I made it to the 10th round first time through but I don't remember just what the score was. I don't know crap about central Africa, appearantly. I'll try again later.

cool

level 8 on first go. I'm going back. I made a couple of bonehead mistakes. Hint: Unless you know where it is in Brazil, don't choose one end or the other, it'll get you!!!!

Mmm, well most of Brazilian cities are close to the coast, so you`d better avoid the inner part of the country (just in terms of probability of course)

Although Brasilia is somewhat inland, IIRC.

Great game, I did OK on the Workd (level 10 403603, 2685 ranking) but I'm supposed to, I majored in geography.

Edit: 346 in the US of A

Got to level 7 on my first go, and might have done better if I knew anything about Australia or Brazil. I surprised the hell out of myself at how well I knew Africa, though. Quite a few locations I got within 40 km, which is pretty good, given the size of the map.

477,792 points, level 11. Have played it rather many times on Facebook though, where my best score is 589,244 points (level 12), rank #44,845 of 1,551,669.

The game has definitely increased my knowledge in geography. Especially concerning Africa and Asia.
